Lesson 4: Production Possibilities | Unit 3: The Curve
|
Page: 11 of 24

The slope of a line is measured by calculating the change in the value measured on the vertical axis divided by the change in the value measured on the horizontal axis. - Another way of saying this is to take the rise over the run.
| rise | change in shoes | | slope = | ---- = | -------------------------- | | run | change in calibrators |
- Slope between I and J is -70. Rise is a decrease of 70. Run is an increase of 1.
The slope of the production possibilities curve is the opportunity cost of the good measured on the horizontal axis, which in our example is clock calibrators.

AVERAGE REVENUE PRODUCT AND MARGINAL REVENUE PRODUCT A mathematical connection between average revenue product and marginal revenue product stating that the change in the average revenue product depends on a comparison between the average revenue product and marginal revenue product. If marginal revenue product is less than average revenue product, then average revenue product declines. If marginal revenue product is greater than average revenue product, then average revenue product rises. If marginal revenue product is equal to average revenue product, then average revenue product does not change.
